Using telegrams to send a Japanese army, successfully withdrawing from Songjiang, and throwing away the approaching Japanese Tenth Army by tens of kilometers, these are all tactical victories.

However, this does not mean that this exhausted army is safe.

Because China has lost its air supremacy in the southeast.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane rumbling overhead brought a huge threat from the air.

This point is not only clear to Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, who saluted each other, but also Lieutenant General Wu and Guo, who are still following the main force of the Songjiang garrison five or six miles away.

Withdrew from Songjiang and got rid of the siege of Japanese infantry, but at the same time it also put the whole Songjiang army in another danger.

In the open field, there are no fortifications to withstand the bombing of aircraft.

The Songjiang garrison originally had two infantry divisions of the 67th Army, a special service regiment, a heavy-duty battalion, an air defense battalion, a mountain artillery battalion, and a field artillery battalion directly under the 67th Army's military headquarters, five infantry companies of the 43rd Army, and the Songjiang Security Regiment, with a total strength of more than 5 people. After four days and nights of fierce fighting with the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army, more than 33000 people were killed in the whole army, excluding minor injuries, and more than 7000 people were seriously injured, and the actual loss of personnel reached 3000.

Compared with the previous war damage of more than [-] in time and space, it has been reduced by one-third, and the battle results have been expanded several times. The record is naturally extremely brilliant.

However, the more brilliant the record, the more the Japanese army would hate them, and the less likely they would let them go.

Not only the Tenth Army, which had already noticed the abnormality, would persevere in pursuit, but the Japanese fighter planes that had almost ruled the entire Songhu sky would never let the entire Songjiang army escape like this.

As many as 3000 seriously wounded became the main reason for dragging down the retreat speed of the main force.

Before deciding to evacuate Songjiang, Lieutenant General Wu issued a death order, and the ministries were not allowed to abandon a seriously wounded person, even if he was still alive, he had to carry him away.

Although this military order made the wounded cry, in fact, many military experts in the future will think it is extremely stupid.

In order to prevent unnecessary losses, the few trucks of the 67th Army's supply battalion were hidden in advance in Tianma Mountain, ten kilometers away from Songjiang City.

Pack horses need to be used to transport all kinds of heavy equipment, and the wounded can only be transported by manpower.

The Songjiang garrison usually needs four or even six soldiers to carry a seriously wounded soldier in rotation, and the soldiers have to carry individual equipment and rations weighing more than ten kilograms.

The speed of the march was severely slowed down, which was absolutely fatal for a unit that was in urgent need of evacuation from the pursuit of the Japanese army.

From 12:8 midnight to 8:60 am, the entire Songjiang army walked for 67 hours without sleep, and only traveled a mere 600 miles. It was because Lei Xiong, who received the telegram, dispatched his last seven trucks, [-] baggage Ten trucks camped in Tianma Mountain helped transport the results of more than [-] wounded.

If they were to move forward with light equipment, the Songjiang garrison, who knew the danger well, could run 8 miles in 80 hours. At this time, the main force might have already moved towards Kunshan through the Baihegang Bridge.

"Sir, why should we come to Songjiang if we want to survive? If we abandon them today, then in the future, anyone can use the same reason to abandon us." This is Tang Dao's dilemma in the headquarters. When he was a commander, he answered without hesitation. "Any army, if you want to become a strong army, don't abandon, don't give up, it will become the creed of every soldier!"

Tang Dao explained the mystery. Since the big guy chose to come to Songjiang, he was ready to die. Taking 3000 seriously wounded people on the road is nothing more than embarking on the road of death. The two commanders will not hesitate now , Made a decision that many military experts who only considered at the tactical level thought it was stupid.

If only by abandoning the wounded and abandoning the luggage to escape, this army that only lives for itself, even if it has created brilliance, it is only a short-term peak, and it will become a mediocre army from now on.

Because, the soldiers who abandoned their surviving brothers and let the Japanese invaders slaughter them with their own hands will never use their full strength again, and he is afraid that he will also be abandoned.

Soldiers, what they fear most is not death in battle, but betrayal, betrayal of comrades who once thought they could keep behind them.

And for China, which is in dire straits at this time, do we need a mediocre army?

The 'mediocre army' that can be defeated after a fight can only become a burden to waste food and military pay.

For the two lieutenant generals with the ambition to serve the country, falling is more terrifying than death.

It's better to go on the road together, even if that road is a dead end, as long as one person can survive, the spirit of this army that fought fiercely against the Japanese invaders in the isolated city will be passed on.

The battlefield is a chessboard for the commanders of both sides, but soldiers are more than just chess pieces. The two lieutenant generals really made the most correct choice.

It's just that, whether they are right or wrong, they have to face another problem.

This army still has more than [-] people, how to deal with the threat from the sky, especially in this sunny day, is the most difficult.

The soldiers who had marched for more than 8 hours were already exhausted. The order to rest temporarily was delivered, and more than half of them sat on the spot. Even the Japanese reconnaissance plane flying high in the sky didn't let them move.

Lei Xiong greeted Tang Dao with a group of backbones from the Four Elements Battalion, and Tang Dao, who was also the battalion commander of the two battalions, was followed by officers above the second lieutenant of the garrison battalion.

If nothing else, before officially leaving the battlefield, the two battalions will fight side by side.

The Four Elements Battalion is famous, but many people in the security camp saw them for the first time except Tang Dao. They were both admiring and curious about the dozen or so colleagues standing straight in front of them.

It's just that besides introducing the two deputy battalion commanders, Tang Dao didn't introduce them to each other before the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over.

"Old Lei, can you still fight?" Tang Dao asked suddenly, looking up at the small body of the Japanese machine faintly in the clouds.

"Hehe, Battalion Commander, you have to ask the little devil first if he dares to come." Lei Xiong raised the corner of his mouth with a relaxed expression on his face.

Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the platoon leaders and squad leaders who came to meet Tang Dao with him, his voice was like thunder: "Brothers, the battalion commander just asked if we can still fight, what do you say?"

"Fight!" Leng Feng took a step forward.

His eyes were sharp, and his figure stood upright, like a spear about to be thrust out.

"Fight!" Li Jiujin followed closely behind.

A former veteran, an old bastard who has been on the battlefield for many years without getting hurt, although his eyes are not as sharp as Leng Feng's, they are more determined and calm.

"Fight!" Cheng Tieshou finally stepped out.

As a shooter who had fought against Japanese planes before, the tall and strong lieutenant of the army just stood there, and a murderous aura came to his face.

The three most important officers under Tang Dao of the Sixing Battalion have already expressed their attitude on this.

Tang Dao obviously expected this statement, his face remained unchanged, his forehead slightly turned, his eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the officers of the guard battalion standing behind him, "You guys, what do you say?"

"Without him, everyone in the garrison battalion is waiting to be dispatched by the commander." Guo Shouzhi smiled lightly, and the scar on his face twitched with his muscles, looking a little vicious.

"Sir, if you want to do it, then do it well." Zhuang Shisan glanced at the several school officers and lieutenants of the Four Elements Battalion, who were full of murderous looks, with a look of stinginess on his face.

Picking out his ears, although the voice was lowered quite a bit, it was enough for the people present to hear: "That's right! Killing the Japanese can't be done with a loud voice."

What he meant was obvious, what happened to the famous Four Elements Camp?Lao Tzu's security battalion is not bad in Songjiang, but your voice is loud?
Although the former major and battalion commander of the security regiment is used to the cruel battlefield, he has not lost the habit of the rivers and lakes in the past.

Lei Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the officer who was wearing the military uniform of a major in the security regiment with his face full of gunpowder smoke. Zhuang Shisan greeted him with raised eyebrows.

This is even more powerful.

Lei Xiong smiled, and took the initiative to reach out his hand to Zhuang Shisan: "Deputy battalion commander Zhuang, you are the deputy battalion commander, and I am also the deputy battalion commander. This time, we are both working under the command of the battalion commander to kill the Japanese invaders. Our two brothers represent the two battalions. Get closer first!"

"That's right!" Zhuang Shisan stretched out his hand without fear.

Although Lei Xiong looked like an army of hundreds of battles just by his standing posture, and his sturdy aura made people daunting, but if he loses, he doesn't lose, and Zhuang Shisan, who has been in the arena for more than ten years, will show weakness.

Yang Xiaoshan and Erya bowed their heads, and collectively mourned for this lifeless army major.

Chief Lei is another perverted player in the Four Elements Battalion besides Chief Tang, the number one pervert. Even Captain Leng Feng Leng, who once won a [-]v[-] in hand-to-hand combat, kept a low profile when he met him on the training ground. pick.

Sure enough, as soon as the two men shook hands, they exerted force at the same time with a tacit understanding.

Zhuang Shisan's face turned red first, then white and then black, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Clearly, his hands were going through some sort of not-so-good suffering.

The corner of Lei Xiong's mouth raised slightly.

He crushed hard hickory nuts by relying on the strength of his hands alone, and even crushed the cervical vertebrae of Japanese infantry soldiers when fighting individual Japanese soldiers. I can resist it.

If nothing else happens, this guy from the security regiment will take the initiative to withdraw soon.

But for the sake of his colleagues, he won't push too hard, which can be regarded as a small lesson for him.

In front of the Four Elements Battalion, not everyone is able to yell five and six.

But obviously, the reality is somewhat different from Lei Xiong's imagination.

Master Zhuang was sweating profusely from the pain, but his eyes were still fierce, he didn't take the initiative to let go, and he insisted on not saying a word.

Lei Xiong's eyes flickered, he took the initiative to withdraw his hands, and raised his hands in salute: "The Four Elements Battalion and the Security Battalion are already comrades, and I will ask Brother Zhuang to take care of me in the future."

"That must be done." Master Zhuang snorted and raised his hand in return.

The two had a secret battle, and Zhuang Shisan finally knew that the name of the Four Elements Battalion was not for nothing, and that it was strong enough without him; Although a little weak, but never give up.

No wonder Tang Dao can see a vote of security forces.

Tang Dao turned a blind eye to the secret battle between the two main officers under his command.

The two forces want to merge together, if there is no collision, it will be hell.

Time is urgent now, otherwise, Tang Dao will arrange for them to meet the real chapter on the training ground.

In the army, instead of relying on words, you have to speak with your fists.

Obviously, he is quite satisfied with the result so far.

"Old Lei, Lao Guo, Lao Zhuang, you and your brothers are familiar with each other, I will go to the headquarters." Tang Dao turned and left.

Erya and Xia Dayu hurriedly followed.
